Benefits of technology

This patent provides an automated method for activating functions on a mobile device using near field communication (NFC). The method involves receiving a sequence of NFC transmissions from NFC transmitting devices, determining if the sequence meets matching criteria for one of a predetermined set of transmission sequences, and then initiating the function associated with the matching sequence. The invention also includes a mobile interface device that can communicate with NFC transmitting devices and a memory containing instructions for executing various functions associated with different predetermined NFC transmission sequences. The device can receive and monitor sequential NFC transmissions to determine if a matching transmission sequence is met, and if so, initiate the associated function. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a convenient and efficient way to activate functions on a mobile device using NFC.

Abstract

An automated method is provided for activating a function in a mobile interface device using near field communication (NFC). In the method, the mobile interface device receives a sequence of NFC transmissions from one or more NFC transmitters. Each NFC transmitter has an associated identifier and each NFC transmission is triggered by a spatial interaction between the mobile interface device and one of the one or more NFC transmitters. The mobile interface device determines whether the sequence of NFC transmissions meets matching criteria for one of a plurality of predetermined transmission sequences. Responsive to a determination that the sequence of NFC transmissions meets matching criteria for one of the predetermined transmission sequences, the mobile interface device determines the predetermined function associated with the one of the predetermined transmission sequences and initiates the predetermined function.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 62 / 679,571, filed Jun. 1, 2018, the complete disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This application relates generally to communication with contactless interfaces (e.g., radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and other near field communication (NFC) devices) and device enhancement, and, more particularly, to the use of gesture-based interaction of a user device with an NFC device to activate a user device function.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In the related art, the functionality of contactless interface points and readers (e.g., RFID and other NFC devices) typically provides for the acquiring of a single source of static information. This static information provision does not provide for nuanced device and function management. Accordingly, there is a need for improved systems and methods to provide enhancements to contactless interface points, contactl...
